Sunday Mornings:
Christianity and Islam:
So much in common, so far apart
In an examination of
the world’s two largest religions, this study takes neither a
"how-to-convert-Muslims" nor a "we're-all-the-same" approach. It
provides students with a greater appreciation of both Jesus and
Muhammad, both the New Testament and the Quran, and both Christianity
and Islam. One of the most common comments from students who have taken
the course is that they learned a lot about Islam and just about as much
about their own faith!
